Ron Paul is the only candidate that can get the independent, disgruntled Democrat, and undecided voter vote.

Give him a chance. We know perry, palin, bachmann, etc can't get the important swing votes. I am unsure about Romney. I don't think he'll get the nomination so I don't need to speculate on his chances in the general election.

Why (how) do you think Paul can get the Repub nomination? He only got 10% in '08....and dropped out?

Ron Paul would beat Obama

None of the other candidates will be able to. I fear the GOP will put up another RINO and lose.

Your statement is funny...because what do you think Paul (RINO) IS?

Sure, hahaha...I bet you can't. But you still comment...cause you know it's true!

Why would a 'Libertarian' be given the Republican nomination? GET REAL.

Uh, I think a lot of people voted for Obama in 2008 to prove they weren't IDIOTS.

Sponge Bob Square Pants could beat obama. He will be extremely lucky to survive the primaries..
Day by day, lower and lower he sinks. He might be smart enough to not even run again. If he does, he will be defeated by the greatest margin in history...!!

That was '08. People were still convinced that we needed to be policing the world and that our economy was fine with just a little bump in the road. People are now realizing that Ron Paul was right then and he is right now. His support is growing!
